Happy Easter everyone! I have been able to enjoy the festivities of this holiday this year. We went to worship this morning and then Sunday School after at the church that we are joining. And of course, no Easter is complete without dinner. My Aunt Linda prepared a wonderful dinner for the family which included not only her, buy Uncle Jim, Laura, Clay, Kaylie, Cathy, Tim, Julie, David, Paul (a.k.a. Hubby), and myself.
I was so touched by a wonderful Easter gift Aunt Linda and Uncle Jim gave Hubby and I. They gave us each a Bible! It was one of the most appropriate Easter gifts I ever got, especially considering I do not have a Bible here in Tennessee with me.
So I hope you all had a wonderful Easter and remembered to put the Lamb before the bunny!

Energy of Chief...
So every morning when my alarm goes off for work, my hubby's puppy (who is getting a lot of attention on this blog) wakes up and procedes to paw my face until I get up. He doesn't hurt or even use nails. He just wants to guarentee his exit from our bedroom to the living room to play. And he always wants to play!
I wish I had his energy. I feel like every morning I get up, I'm exhausted. And every afternoon I need a nap just to get by. And every night should come to an early turn-in to bed. I wish I had Chief's energy. Bouncing out of bed every morning, feeling like that day is going to be filled with an amazing day!
Who do you admire for their energy? Or even for a talent or skill?

Win Some, Lose Some
It's safe to say that last night my emotions got the best of me. I could not stop crying. And yes, I will chalk this one up to hormones. On the plus side, I had an eventful night.
When I got home I was determined to relax and get a nice warm bath. So I filled the tub, threw in a bath fizzer (mmmm, strawberry!) and sank down into my oasis to relax. Or so I thought. My music from my IPod did not drown out the splash that happened right in front of me. Chief, hubby's puppy, had jumped into the tub with me. He did not get the concept of holding his head above water and proceded to breath in water. So not only was my bath ruined, I now had a dog bath to give! So, of course, I get him all scrubbed up.
But it doesn't stop there. Oh, no. So I get out to get him all dried off in a towel. I stoop down to dry in off and he takes off towards the door. My wet feet slip on the floor and I managed to catch my fall. With my face. I shake off the pain and reach up to feel blood coming from my nose. Who knew it was going to be this dangerous when all I had planned was relaxation?
So how have your plans gone wrong lately???

What's real and what's not???
My husband told me this morning that he thinks many of my pregnany symptoms are all "in my head". And it got me thinking. I really have been sick to my stomach (twice today, in fact). I really have been nauseated. Those are things I cannot deny.
I feel much more tired than I usually am. But on what am I comparing that to? I transferred from nightshift to dayshift and around the same time found out that I was pregnant. So is it my body still adjusting to sleeping change (because I'm certainly not sleeping any better at night) or is my body physically tired from the changes it is going through right now?
I had started reading "What to Expect When You're Expecting" and while it is very informative, maybe my husband is right. Maybe the symptoms being told to me by the book are the ones I'm feeling because I'm looking to have.
On the other hand, Hubby has been looking for symptoms too. He has asked me "Do you still feel pregnant?" I know it's worry that draws us to feel this way.
But all this being said, what do you think is real when it comes to symptoms? Do you notice them more after you look them up and become more aware of them?

What do you believe???
My husband and I have been faced with the challenge this week of choosing religion. I know what I believe. I was raised in a very religous household and I feel that that has properly equipped me with the things I believe today. My husband hasn't been facd with these choices before and watching him grow and want to change (for whatever reason he has in his head), has been a beautiful process to watch.
He told me after church the other day that he is tired of being the way he is. He feels angry and frustrated all of the time and he would like some relief. He believes that finding some religious beliefs will help this process of a change within him. I couldn't agree more. With one exception... I don't believe that it is an instant change. It is a relationship that has to be worked on and built.
We will see how this growth develops (sounds like I'm talking about a disease!). And in the mean time... What do you belive???

Eating Healthy...
So I was astounded to see the scale when I went to my appointment on Wednesday. A whopping 184. Paul made a joke about, "Divorce papers get drawn up at 200." But of course, this tore me up. I have never weighed this much and I know I will only be getting bigger with the baby on the way,but it's not like I ever wanted to weigh this much.
So here's my challenge to myself... I want to start eating healthier. Not only for me, but for my baby. Then I will work hard to get fit once the baby comes. I know it starts now while I'm pregnant (I was thinking walks or something along those lines). But I have been so tired. Making a baby is hard work!

Baby Steps
Tomorrow is the big day. Tomorrow I get to see you for the first time. I'm so excited. And scared. I have no doubt that I will love you. No, that's not what I'm worried about.
The worries I have revolve around the fact that I know I will be missing out on part of your childhood. I will have to work. And probably a lot more than I have wanted to work in a long time. Not for lack of trying to find something I could work at home.
